Mattress contamination


Recommended Posts

Hi

My OCD is based around contamination from body fluids, given the title of this thread, you may be able to see where I'm going with this post...

I don't mind admitting that I'm not an innocent guy, and whilst I change my bedding after sex (maybe the next day) I worry about what have could have got through the sheet onto the mattress. I put clean bedding on, but am concerned about something coming through the sheet from the mattress, particularly if I sweat etc. 

On one hand I wonder of this is OCD, but then there is the fact the "stuff" would genuinely got onto the mattress.

Hi, thanks for your reply

I think some people may have a mattress protector or the like over the main mattress, but then some may not?

Part of my problem with these more tangible incidents is drawing a line between where "normal" cleanliness and OCD. I know there are tell tale signs of OCD (ruminating, spending excess time on it, other excessive aspects), but I can't think that anyone would want to spend the night sleeping with "that" on the mattress beneath them. On one hand I think OCD, on the other there is a tangible/physical issue. 

 

Thanks again, Neil

Absolutely OCD (remember, if it's not one thing - it'll be another)

Edit - above looks like reassurance - note - I could be wrong - and your 'extra caution' might be totally reasonable. :wink:
